thanks a lot for your reply! I didn't guess that this question would force anybody to download and install the Winamp for Android app... I just thought that this google group is big enough to have a few people who know this app and who could give some advice... Since I don't see any way to add screenshots to this mail (I'm writing here from the google account), I just surfed through the net and found this screenshots: http://www.qweas.com/downloads/audio/audio-file-players/scr-winamp-for-android.jpg where the left picture shows the "hidden" audio-player (just a bar upon the control buttons) and the full audio-player which could be shown by sliding the bar to the top (just like the status bar could be expanded). hope I could anyhow explain what I want to know, if you need some further information please don't hesitate to ask me - I'll be thankful for every advice ;) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
